I don't suppose any of you fine diving beings know of the bible? "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it. Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you."

I'm lookin' for a bit of Christian Goodness even though I'm fairly certain y'all ain't part of that in the least, meanin' no offense, 'course. Just that in order to help you better, I might need a little extra in order to get my tributes proper, as it were.

I'm takin' over the saloon to make a fine establishment, raise morale in this city. Don't suppose you can help me out? Sayin' you got script, you've got the power to make sure I'm the only competition. I'll have fair prices, count on that, but havin' a bar when the hotel's got it's on free one is rather moot, wouldn't you say?

Askin' for some help. You put the booze in the hotel and stock it into the saloon instead and you'll get nothin' but a good business in this reviving town.

And in case you ain't the type to do sometin' for free--which I understand in the fullest--consider me owing you a favour after this.
